Worthless and in Pain

Her friends think they know her

But they only know small things.

Even though the scares fade

The memories stay the same.

She acts tough but cries when she's alone.

She loses all her battles & refuses to ask for help.

She screams as loud as she can but it comes out as a whisper.

She wonders why she was chosen for the fights.

What did she do to deserve this?

She can never find love, though she searches high & low.

You talk to her

But all she hears is the throbbing in her head

From the last hit she took.

She'll nod her head so you'll think she heard.

They think she's useless wallowing in her emotion.

But it's just the stress piling on top of her head

Pushing her down into her own hell.

Her friends, they think they, know her, but she's at war with herself.

Worthless and in Pain.
